Washington, Aug. 8.—Surprising rev
elation* were made today through the
disclosure of the well-guarded plans
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
of the Navy Metcalf, with the support
of Admiral Dewey and the other mem
bers of the general board of the navy,
to begin at once the mobilisation In
Pacific coast waters the most power
ful cruiser fleet anywhere ln the world.
Orders have been Issued for almost
the entire cruiser strength of the Aslat-
lo squadron to be brought across the
Pacific, two new mobster cruisers will
shortly be ready for service, the St.
Louis Is now making her way up the
west coast and the Washington and.
Tennessee will start out to join them
before the close of August.,
Pacific's Modern Fleet
In accordance with the plans which
have been under way for several weeks,
Secretary Metcalfs former constituents
living on Golden Gate harbor will have
the opportunity of viewing sixteen mod
em and capable fighting ships—eight
of the world's biggest armored cruisers
and an equal number of formidable pro
tected cruisers—before Rear.Admiral
Evans sails out from Hampton Roads
with his sixteen monster battleships to
Join them.
These plans—the transfer of the At
lantic fleet to the Pacific and the mob-
filiation of the Pacific fleet off the
Western coast of tho United States,
augmented by half a dozen new ar
mored cruisers—call for the concentra
tion of what will doubtless prove to be
the most formidable array of warships
of any one nation ever assembled In
time of peace. In fact, when Admiral
Evans arrives off San Francisco he
will be welcomed by Rear Admiral Day-
ton, commanding another powerful fleet
which will be almost as strong In ag
gregate tonnage and number of heavy
gups as the great battleship fleet.
Will Create Stir.
The plans promise to create almost
as much of a stir throughout the world
as the original announcement of the
decision of the government to transfer
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific. So
much attention has been devoted to the
prospective dispatch of the Atlantic
fleet around South America that the
disposition and Increase of the Pacific
fleet has been entirely overlooked.
The Pacific fleet at present Is com-
K sed of three small squadrons—the
elflc coast squadron, Philippine
squadron and- the Asiatic- aquadron.
The ehtps left In the Far East will be
consolidated Into the Asiatic aquadron
under command of Rear Admiral J. N.
Hemphill, with headquarters at Manila.

Shortly after the senate session open
ed Senator Henderson, of the Fif
teenth, naked unanimous consent
take up for final action tho bill pro
vldlng for the removal of the county
site of Irwin from Irwlnvllle to Ocllla.
Senator Felder objected, and read
lengthy communication from Ir-
wtnvllle people, who are fighting the
removal. Senator Felder contended
that the bill ought not to be passed
until the pending contest before the
secretary of state on August 12.
Senator Henderson contended that
the people had voted overwhelmingly
for removal, and that It was simply an
effort to delay the matter, and defeat
the will of the people of Irwin county.
Senator Wllkea said that tho bill
ought to be passed. That Uie con
testants had nad plenty of time In
which to file their contest. Senator
Hardman stated that the contestants
were here In the Capitol with the pa
pers, but declined to tym them over
to the secretary of state. He opposed
any such method of delay to defeat
the will of the people.
The fight against the passage of the
bill gained but one advocate—Senator
Felder—and tho bill passed by a vote
of 39 to 1. Senator Felder was the
lone opponent It was Immediately
transmitted to the house,
Rectts Committee Visits.
Senator Boyd offered a resolution
providing that the house and senate
committees on the State University
shall visit the university and Its
branches during the recess, and while
the Institutions are In session.
He gives as reasons that the busi
ness of the general assembly now is
•uch that the committees can not leave,
and further that the university and Its
branches are not In session.
The general committees may be di
vided Into sub-conlmltteea and the
regular per diem of 34 per day Is to
be allowed members not to exceed
five days, Including expenses Under
the rules ths resolution went over for
one day.
Senator Born moved to tako hla
measure, relating to punitive apd com.
pensatory damage, from the table and
place It on the calendar, and the mo
tion was adopted.
Senator Williford moved for recon
sideration of the bill passed by the
senate Wednesday, known aa ths anti-'
lobbying bill. He said the substance
had been removed and the shadow only
left.
Senator Steed epoke for reconsiders,
tlon, and said the i>eople demanded
something more than was pawed by
the senate Wedneeday.
The house will not accept It,” he
said, “and aa a consequence we will
have no legislation along this line at
all."
■This talk of reconsidering Is fool-
ieh,” declared Senator Felder. "We are
giving the people exactly what they
asked for. We have a statute that
accomplishes every purpose of this bill,
anyway. We have stricken only what
the people did not demand.”
Senator Knight said that the bill as
passed might aa well not be on the
statute books Insofar as good It might
do.
The motion to reconsider was las;
by a vote of 28 to 12.

Two Propositions Win
Before the Pri
mary.
That the people desire to elect their
own city officials and to elect them by
the majority rule was clearly proven
when both propostttona were carried
by a large majority In the primary
election Wednesday.
Oil the question of popular elections,
tho vote was more than two to one,
despite the most earnest opposition.
The vote was 2,697 for and 1.128
against. The majority for popular
Elections was 1,669.
This was probably the only distinct
surprise the primary brought forth.
With the stubborn, persistent opposi
tion the question had encountered, to
gether with the fact that those who
advocated It moat earnestly admitted
they made a mistake when they al
lowed the vote to be for popular elec
tions of all or none, Instead of being
separate on each official. It was thought
by the politically wise that defeat
would be Its fate.
The resolution providing for an ex
pression from the people at the pri
mary on thle question was Introduced
by City Executive Committeeman T.
Poole, at the Instance of Alderman
Curtis, whoh had advocated popular
elections before council. The action of
the people Is advisory to council and
not mandatory. It provides for tha
election by popular vote of the fol
lowing officials, now sleeted by coun
cil and boards of the council's mak-
"superintendent of publlo schools, city
clerk, city marshal, general manager
and secretary waterworks, recorder,
comptroller, building Inspector, city
electrician, ejilef fire department, street
Improvement collector, city warden, tax
assessors, ward physician, health of
ficer. license Inspector.
Tho question of popular elections
carried In every ward except the
Eighth.
The proposition of having tho prima
ries governed by the majority rule
ilan met with-even greater favor In
die eyes of ths people than that of
election by tho people, the former be
ing carried by a vote of more than
three to one.
Tho vote for the majority rule was
2,776 and the voto against It only 803,
ths majority for the new primary plan
being 1,972.
Aa was the case with the popular
election, the expression from the peo-
ile on the majority rule Is not man-
Jatory, but advisory. Tho difference •
Is that the expression on popular elec
tion le advisory to council, while that
on the majority rule Is advisory to the
legislature.
There la now pending In council an
ordinance by Alderman Curtis provid
ing for popular elections of several city
officials. There Is now pending before
the legislature a bill by Messrs. Sla
ton. Blackburn, and Bell, of Fulton,
providing for the majority rule ln
primaries In this city.
Council several months ago adopted
a resolution by Alderman Peters, In
which the legislature was requested to
pass a law requiring that In oil cities
of over 75,000 population In Georgia,
and where primaries are held, that no
candidate be declared the nominee of
that primary until he has received a
majority of the votes cast.
The resolution further requested that
tha bill provide that In oil cases 'where
no candidate received a clear majority
of all votes cast ln the first primary
that the two highest candidates run
again, and that the one receiving the
most votes In the second primary be
the nominee.
The bill, ns Introduced In the legis
lature, so provides. It has been re
ported favorably by the Judiciary com
mittee of the house, and will probably
be made a law at this session.
If this 1* the case. It will apply ln
the next race for mayor, nldermen. and
councilman. It It Is made Into a law
and there are more than two candi
dates In the race for mayor, the one
receiving the highest vote will not
necessarily be the nominee, as has been
the case In the past. He must receive,
more than half of the votes cost. If,
no one receives this majority, then the
two highest candidates will run It off
In a second primary and the one then
winning Is the nominee. The same
holds true with the election of alder
men, counellmen, and other city offi
cials chosen by the people.
It was charged by Walter R. Brown.
_J the city executive committee, that
this second primary plan la a stab at
James O. Woodward, who has twice
been mayor and who commands such
a solid vote that In all cases where
there has been a number of candidates
the field he has been elected.
